The speaker of the Mike Johnson house intervenes in the agitation of the CDC, the Epstein files and more in ‘Good Morning America’

The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, in “Good Morning America” ​​on Friday, intervened in agitation in the centers for disease control and prevention, the shooting at the Minneapolis school and what follows for Congress in the archives of Jeffrey Epstein.

Johnson defended the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., after a massive exodus in the CDCs estimated by the termination of the administration of the agency’s director, Susan Monarez.

The speaker also pressed whether he would allow a floor vote to force the Department of Justice to release Epstein archives, and if the camera would take measures on armed violence following the massive shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School.

The Congress returns the next week of its August recess of a month. Here are prominent aspects of Johnson’s interview.

Johnson says that the shock of the CDC ‘necessary’

“Well, I think in general, Secretary Kennedy is doing a great job,” Johnson said when asked about the tumult in the CDC.

“There has been a shake that has been needed there, and I think we have to trust the secretary to do his job,” added the speaker. “They have had some excellent results there. We are causing the United States to be healthy again, that is well received throughout the country, and in my opinion, in my opinion, so we will let the cabinet do its job, and I will stay in my lane and make mine.”

When asked about the availability of vaccines for Americans and the general confidence in the CDC after this week’s confrontation, Johnson said “let’s see how all that is resolved.”

“The CDCs play an important role in the government and in our society, and we want it to be strong, and we want it to be restored to its original intention,” said Johnson. “The secretary made a good point that the existing leadership was not, not doing that.”

Johnson on whether House will vote in Epstein’s archives

When legislators return to Washington, so will a renewed impulse for the complete release of Epstein archives of the Department of Justice.

Johnson will face a bipartisan effort, led by Democratic representative Rue Khanna and Republican representative Thomas Massie, to force a floor vote on his high request.

“If necessary, we will do it,” Johnson said on having voted on the high request on the floor, despite calling his bill “reckless” and ending the legislative session in early July for the controversy of Epstein.

But Johnson said he believed it would not be necessary after the Department of Justice delivered thousands of Epstein documents to the House Supervision Committee last week.

“I think what happened in August, in recent weeks, has probably discussed that, the need for legislation,” said Johnson.

Khanna has criticized the liberation of the Department of Justice to the committee, saying that much of it was information that was already public and that legislators still need to approve their bill.

Johnson goes to Minneapolis’s shots

After the mortal school shooting in Minnesota, which left two dead children and 18 injured people, Johnson did not indicate any new legislation that address armed violence or mental health that could occur in Congress, but said he “is always open for that” discussion. “

“Listen, it is important that politicians on both sides of the hall do not politicize a moment like this,” said Johnson. “There are many common sense measures that can and should be taken to protect children in schools and churches that do not imply eliminating the constitutional rights of American citizens respectful of the law.”

“At the end of the day, the problems in these situations are not weapons, they are the human heart, and we can put more resources for the treatment of mental health,” said Johnson.

The speaker said he is open to “any bipartisan solution that can address these types of problems that really go to the heart of the matter.”

Johnson speaks ‘Big Big Beauty Bill’

Many Republican legislators passed the August recess to the audience of the voters after the approval of the broad tax and expenses bill of President Donald Trump, and some municipalities were heated on the matter.

This week, Trump suggested that the legislation needed a brand change, saying that the phrase “Great Beautiful Law” was not good to explain to people what it is. “

TO PEW Research Center Survey Launched earlier this month found that only three out of 10 Americans approve of Trump’s tax and signature budget bill.

Johnson, in “Good Morning America,” backed up against the numbers of the surveys and said that the individual provisions in the bill are more popular than the survey show once they are explained to the public.

“What we did during the work period of the August district is all the republican members of Congress, the Senate and the Chamber, they left, moved throughout the country in their districts and spoke with the US people about the extraordinary provisions that are in this bill,” said the speaker.

“It’s rightly called. He’s great and beautiful, and every American will benefit from him,” said Johnson.
